The US gov't travel advisory board recently warned people against travelling to China 🇨🇳 I believe the warning still applies today. China is supposed to be a very dangerous place. In fact, not just the country, but Chinese things are also a danger to people. I just read an article on MedicalNewsToday that suggests green tea is potentially bad for your health. And the article blamed Tiktok for the growing popularity of green tea and other bad Chinese things in the West!!! So the country is bad, the people are bad, green tea is bad, and even tiktok is bad. So anything Chinese is bad. So I don't expect the US gov't travel advisory warning against travels to China to be lifted any time soon since everything is so horrible.
I recently travelled to China and it was completely different to how it is portrayed in the media in the West, really made me think about what narratives and biases the media wants us to believe
The media wants you to hate China. As a Chinese American who travels China each year, visited most European countries numerous times, and have been in the USA for 3 decades, I wish that I have the opportunity to retire in CHINA.
I was in Chengdu July q 1993 with a Tibetan Lama friend on our way to Kham province, Eastern Tibet...the transformation in 30 years is mindblowing...the city is completely transformed and upgraded to an almost miraculous degree
Yea that's the problem with some people they are not as open minded as you and the problem with that is that they think china is still like 30 years ago, because they cannot and don't want to believe the speed of transformation
In NYC, Fake News, Racial Hatred, night time is 50% you would be alive outside, everybody is afraid. In Subway, seeing Black Guy, Latino guy, White or Asian, Fear chill my spine. It feels like any minute will be the last minute in this world.
In fact, it is rare to see police officers in China. The uniformed personnel you generally see on the streets are usually security guards, traffic coordinators, and auxiliary police. They are not police officers. Most of the surveillance cameras on the streets are for monitoring traffic violations. These cameras are used to capture instances of speeding, illegal lane changes, honking, etc. Security checks in subways and high-speed trains are implemented to prevent bad actors from carrying knives, flammable, or explosive materials onto trains, ensuring the safety of passengers. In the end, I can only say that we are all ordinary people; no one is really paying attention to what we are doing. All these measures are in place to prevent bad things from happening, and I think that's a good thing.Why Chinese girls can go out to eat barbecue in the late at night, but Indian girls dare not go out on the streets? This is because of security. Even in US, women don’t dare to go out on the streets late at night.
Americans claim they have freedom when everyday they spend 2 hours sitting in their car, 8 hours at a shitty job, and the rest of their time locked at home since its not safe to go outside.

You are so right about how people go out as a family. I lived in chengdu and loved it. I miss most going out for walks after dinner. Chinas cities are built to enjoy them outside..parks..sidewalks..eeverything. Huge benefits for mental and physical health and bring apart of community. I cant wait to return.

I lived and travelled a lot in China and yes the chinese are great. Very friendly and welcoming people. You should go to Kunming and then Dali. Dali is very beautiful. China is so varied, Chengu is so different from Shanghai for example, it's like another country.

Hey Gabi! Welcome to China. I have lived here for 10 years and over the last few years the amount of foreigners here has dropped massively, so I am not surprised that you haven't seen many foreigners. I live in Nanjing, but right now I am staying with my mother and father-in-law in Yangzhou. Yangzhou is a wonderful city with the whole downtown being unique compared to most Chinese cities because there are no high rises and there is about a square mile at the center of the city that is still traditional alleys - It is a very unique experience for that reason. If you travel to other Chinese cities you will notice that they are almost indistinguishable from each other because of all the malls and major squares. At the beginning of your video, I thought you were in Guangzhou because many spots in Chengdu really look similar to what the downtown of Guangzhou or even Shanghai look like. Enjoy your time in China!
@oyakefire Hey dear wu-mao, how much RNB did you get to post this? my comment is based on actual facts. if you honestly feel like eating gutter oil is equal to china getting better, then I guess the rest of the world must be a paradise! LOL
Always so relaxing to watch your videos. No hectic, no big show, no artificial high frequence bla bla like at other channels. Just normal and authentic with a calm voice.
I moved to China in 2009 to be a teacher. I stayed until a few months ago when I moved to Hong Kong. Watching your vid makes me very Nostalgic already. It's so different here. 😢😊
I love how brave you are to get involved and engage with locals, even when you don't always know the rules/ culture/ language etc. I know that isn't always easy and you never show any judgment! Really interesting and good advice too! Helps people to do the same! Nice one Gabi!
You can take photos but you cannot take records in Tianfu Square. I think they banned recording in Tianfu Square because there used to be too many Tiktok influencers streaming. They made the square chaotic and too entertaining, which is not acceptable for a political memorial square with a giant sculpture of the first leader of the country.
China has the most beautiful scenery, the most advanced cities, the safest society, and very low prices in the world.Of course, travelers like to go to China.
@@oyakefire Said no sane person ever. LOL. gotta love those photoshopped chinese gov. photos with oversaturation of color, or spray-painting dead trees and ground to be green. man thats pathetic!
The first vehicle shown in your video, whose brand is called AVATA, is designed by former BMW designer and powered by the most advanced battery supplier CATL, a Chinese company which shares the most market in the world. The second one is called LI auto L6, which is the most popular luxurious family-oriented suv in China.
Wow! You had a tough time at the beginning.. never been but we want to go at some point... But you know you are so open to understanding the places you go to its refreshing to see... because I think many would have held onto that first experience... Thanks for sharing your travels!!! Love watching your videos xx

Your impressions on this video show once again how different a country and its people are from what we hear before visiting there. I felt your curiosity and enthusiasm on this video. Really great! 🙏
Ciao Gabi! I'm glad to see you exploring China now, it's definitely not the easiest country to travel to, but it's worth it I think. We are super happy with the current visa free travel situation, it makes life much easier. We went there shortly at the beginning of the year and we already decided to fly there again this winter, specifically to Sichuan, because of the food. We enjoyed a lot watching your motovlogs from Thailand long time ago, and happy to see you doing well and making videos regularly again! You've been an inspiration for us to start make CZcams videos! Enjoy a lot the best spicy hotpots and hugs from Germany!
I'm so excited for a new Gabi video!!! Love your videos...they make my days happy! :-) I've been nervous to visit since I don't know the culture or language! But you did it! YAY GABI!!!
0:00 Never heard of not allowing filming on square(or public space in general). Chinese influencers do Chinese tiktok all over the places. Weird, it's not a typical thing. Anyway, welcome to China, take it easy and enjoy.
Exactly I find it strange that he can’t film in this place. I watched a lot of foreign as well as local CZcamsrs filming and taking photos. Maybe they were lucky I don’t know. Honestly first time I saw a police saying can’t film. I need to find out from my friends from Chengdu why he can’t film there. I am curious.
I was born in 1987 in a small village in inland China. My family's house was made of mud. That year my grandfather used electric light for the first time. My father bought a "Peony" color television set in 1991. The world is always changing, isn't it?
@@nuo.not1033 It's amazing, how much China changed and how how fast .. I'm guessing life in small villages must still be very different from big cities ..
@@enzos711 In terms of material life, there is little difference. Now China's first-tier cities and fifth-tier cities enjoy no difference in the convenience of life, only less road width and high-rise buildings in infrastructure, but compared with big cities, there is a big difference in employment, income, consumption, personal development, and the gap between rich and poor in China is also large. There is no difference in the quality of life enjoyed by a big city with a monthly income of 10,000 CNY and a consumption of 5,000 CNY compared with a small city with a monthly income of 3,000 CNY and a consumption of 1,500 CNY. So some of my elders who lived in small villages went to work in big cities for 20-30 years and then chose to retire back to small villages, build a good house and enter old age, and now I am doing the same.
Actually I am a residentWHO live just very near to tia nfu square I'm glad to see such a video on CZcams that，promote my hometown to foreign friends.we chinese people is always friendly to foreigners.Welcome to chengdu and have a good time here!
If you encounter difficulties in China, you can seek help from the police. Ask for directions. Searching for delicious food. Ask if some places can be photographed. everything.
I live in Wuhan. Sometimes after finishing the work of the whole week on Friday, I will also make an appointment with friends to take the high-speed rail to Chengdu to enjoy the weekend. The life in Chengdu is really very relaxed and extremely suitable for living❤
At 0:20 you show the back of a jacket that had the word "POLICE" on it. Yet from 0:14 on we can see the "police" you claimed interrupted your vlogging did not wear or carry a jacket with him. The "police" jacket you show was wet but when you filmed in that square it was not raining.
I have been to Guangzhou and Shenzhen in 2016, it was difficult to get around as a foreigners but the cities were extremely modern and beautiful. Also visited Hong Kong and Macau, which are more Western! Would love to go back and see Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing etc...
2:15 Baidu maps works really well for using buses/subway lines. 3:40 The driver has a helmet, but doesn't offer it to the rider. Small details like this are important. 3:55 Driving the wrong way down a street, yup! I'm glad you enjoyed your first day in China, you should definitely spend more time there. But know as a tourist, just because you view things a certain way doesn't mean what others say is incorrect. You're in the honeymoon period, where everything is new and wonderful. It takes time too peel back that layer.
I was flabbergasted watching your video 🎉if when you decide to travel to South America… Bogotá COL to be exact.. you will always have a place to stay. I have much admiration and respect to how you show the world to the world🙏🏽
@@ridewithgabi thank you for your adventures and experiences 🙏🏽and pls don’t feel shy or scared I am a world traveler as well but I did it looong before phones CZcams etc… and I can only imagine how it now. Nonche problema de eso 🤘🏽
Gabi, I’m originally from chengdu, I thought the police man thinks you’re a live streamer and live streaming is not allowed in the Tianfu square not only you foreigners but all influencers.
Ciao Gabi was my same idea before going to China . I spent about 1 month around China. It's an amazing place . I went to Chendu, after Xijan. Believe me you will be in love in about this country . If you don't mind i want suggest i nice place to visit Lijang. If you have time go there ,is amazing. Travel always open your mind .
Welcome to China. I feel sorry that you had some "difficulties" with filming in the TianFu square. Strange, other western tourists did not have that kind of trouble.
Ive been to China twice before, and although I cant wait to go back, its nothing like south east Asia as you may have noticed I'm sure 😅 so yeah just be careful overthere 👍
i dont know why you were not allowed to film at the square, because I've seen other youtubers successfully filmed at the same place. maybe some vip were there on that day.
Welcome to China, Gabi! If you find people looking at you aggressively, it's most likely just curiosity and if you say hi you'll find, as you already have, that they are really friendly. Are you heading to Shanghai? China is also exceptionally safe. I hope you stay a while and have an amazing time!
you might also want to admit that its part of the culture. the same as spitting on the ground constantly, having your kids pee/take a S in the middle of street as its nothing, etc etc. lets be honest here, aye?
Nice video! Spent time in Shanghai and the people everywhere in and out of the city were amazing. Most people everywhere are friendly and just want to be happy/do good/right by others in this world. The big powers that be want us all to forget that though.
take photo and video is totally ok in TIANFU square, but can't Livestreaming. maybe the policeman misunderstood, when you keep talking to the camera. Some places also prohibit live streaming , because some people may do very strange things to attract viewers😂😂
China is very beautiful , many attractions , I have been there many times, if you want to spend nice time just be careful of breaking the laws by any means, i wish you good times there
ti seguiamo dal tuo viaggio in india... stiamo progettando il nostro viaggio in China per il prossimo anno e siamo super felici di aver visto che sei lì adesso!! Fai piu video possibili :)
Good video for the amount of time, and it's good to see them getting back to a normal life, when we been hearing how their economy is suffering'', so Thanks, and I subscribed the other day because I like your style of making videos'😉

There is no difference in the quality of life enjoyed by a big city with a monthly income of 10,000 CNY and a consumption of 5,000 CNY compared with a small city with a monthly income of 3,000 CNY and a consumption of 1,500 CNY.
So some of my elders who lived in small villages went to work in big cities for 20-30 years and then chose to retire back to small villages, build a good house and enter old age, and now I am doing the same.
@@nuo.not1033 Good for you🙂

great video, Gabi !
Actually I am a residentWHO live just very near to tia nfu square I'm glad to see such a video on CZcams that，promote my hometown to foreign friends.we chinese people is always friendly to foreigners.Welcome to chengdu and have a good time here!
If you encounter difficulties in China, you can seek help from the police. Ask for directions. Searching for delicious food. Ask if some places can be photographed. everything.
Your comment about family bond is very interesting indeed, seems rather different in the west
China is overwhelming ! the language barrier is surely a big challenge, i can`t wait to see your new experiences, good luck Gabi❣🙏

Great video, keep it up!
great video, looking forward to the next one.
i followed you when you were traveling in India. i knew one day you will come to China. but didnt expect for that long . A long wait 😂
Imagine if you approach by the polices in the US? The outcome wouldn't be positive
I live in Wuhan. Sometimes after finishing the work of the whole week on Friday, I will also make an appointment with friends to take the high-speed rail to Chengdu to enjoy the weekend. The life in Chengdu is really very relaxed and extremely suitable for living❤
At 0:20 you show the back of a jacket that had the word "POLICE" on it. Yet from 0:14 on we can see the "police" you claimed interrupted your vlogging did not wear or carry a jacket with him. The "police" jacket you show was wet but when you filmed in that square it was not raining.
I have been to Guangzhou and Shenzhen in 2016, it was difficult to get around as a foreigners but the cities were extremely modern and beautiful. Also visited Hong Kong and Macau, which are more Western! Would love to go back and see Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing etc...
2:15 Baidu maps works really well for using buses/subway lines.
3:40 The driver has a helmet, but doesn't offer it to the rider. Small details like this are important.
3:55 Driving the wrong way down a street, yup!
I'm glad you enjoyed your first day in China, you should definitely spend more time there. But know as a tourist, just because you view things a certain way doesn't mean what others say is incorrect.
You're in the honeymoon period, where everything is new and wonderful. It takes time too peel back that layer.
I was flabbergasted watching your video 🎉if when you decide to travel to South America… Bogotá COL to be exact.. you will always have a place to stay. I have much admiration and respect to how you show the world to the world🙏🏽
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
@@ridewithgabi thank you for your adventures and experiences 🙏🏽and pls don’t feel shy or scared I am a world traveler as well but I did it looong before phones CZcams etc… and I can only imagine how it now. Nonche problema de eso 🤘🏽

Gabi, I’m originally from chengdu, I thought the police man thinks you’re a live streamer and live streaming is not allowed in the Tianfu square not only you foreigners but all influencers.
Very open eyes. 👀 thanks for this video
I was in china last year( guangzhou) im shocked 😮
Ciao Gabi was my same idea before going to China . I spent about 1 month around China. It's an amazing place . I went to Chendu, after Xijan. Believe me you will be in love in about this country . If you don't mind i want suggest i nice place to visit Lijang. If you have time go there ,is amazing. Travel always open your mind .
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻 I don’t think I will be able to visit this trip. But I will definitely be back
Welcome to China. I feel sorry that you had some "difficulties" with filming in the TianFu square. Strange, other western tourists did not have that kind of trouble.
I think because they had some events there at the same time. Otherwise, you can film as you like.
Ive been to China twice before, and although I cant wait to go back, its nothing like south east Asia as you may have noticed I'm sure 😅 so yeah just be careful overthere 👍
Yes it’s very very different from SE Asia
i dont know why you were not allowed to film at the square, because I've seen other youtubers successfully filmed at the same place. maybe some vip were there on that day.
Welcome to China, Gabi! If you find people looking at you aggressively, it's most likely just curiosity and if you say hi you'll find, as you already have, that they are really friendly. Are you heading to Shanghai? China is also exceptionally safe. I hope you stay a while and have an amazing time!
you might also want to admit that its part of the culture. the same as spitting on the ground constantly, having your kids pee/take a S in the middle of street as its nothing, etc etc. lets be honest here, aye?
@m.m.4609 you need to get out more. or do the world a favour and don't. I'm going to take a wild guess.... you're American?
@@m.m.4609 sucks to be you
Why do you believe China is exceptionally safe?
Ahahha yes I noticed that! It seems like they look at you in an “angry” way. But it’s just their look, most of the time they are very friendly
Love ❤️ to see your vids again! Keep traveling 🧳 keep moving
Brilliant video Gabi,looking forward to the next one 🙏🙏🙂
Let me know if you come to Hangzhou or Shanghai, I’d be nice to meet you and show you around. Big hug and keep posting 👌🏻
i will be visiting Chengdu this Oct and going to Jiazhaigou from there which is a scenic place
Welcome to China! You'll often meet nice people here. Good luck!
Every time you realese a video is a nice surptise Gabi, bravissimo caro amico!

Thank you Gabi, lovely video 😊
Super! I always want to travel to China. But i think, I can not deal easy with all the electronical stuff😃
你可以的很简单
thanks for your chengdu vlog, I have never been to this city, please upload more videos about this city. I am planning to go there in the future.
Nice vlog Gabi❤
Keep at it your very good.
Stay well.
Nice video! Spent time in Shanghai and the people everywhere in and out of the city were amazing. Most people everywhere are friendly and just want to be happy/do good/right by others in this world. The big powers that be want us all to forget that though.
Great video 😁
I love you Gabi, always nice to see your travel adventures.
you are good for telling us exactly what you saw.
Thanks 👍 for sharing.😂
Great video Gabi... You gave a unique perspective compared to most westerners who goto China
Usually police won’t interrupt you for videotaping unless you are at some sensitive areas.
I guess that’s a sensitive area. There was a lot of police and security around
@@ridewithgabi may be you missed the warning signs somewhere, I know you were overwhelmed by the new experience. 😂
Super starrrrr Gabi
Try to visit the famous greatwall of china❤❤❤ thankyou for sharing Sir Gabi❤
Been to China. Shenzhen is a great city. Hong Kong (China?) is also a great place to visit.
take photo and video is totally ok in TIANFU square, but can't Livestreaming. maybe the policeman misunderstood, when you keep talking to the camera.
Some places also prohibit live streaming , because some people may do very strange things to attract viewers😂😂
China is very beautiful , many attractions , I have been there many times, if you want to spend nice time just be careful of breaking the laws by any means, i wish you good times there
Nice sharing and thanks!
It's weird that the police stoppedyou from making video in Tianfu square. I'veseen lots of people shooting there. Maybe some misunderstanding?
the motorbike guy was totally going the opposite way in traffic!!🤣
Thanks for a very positive video
ti seguiamo dal tuo viaggio in india... stiamo progettando il nostro viaggio in China per il prossimo anno e siamo super felici di aver visto che sei lì adesso!! Fai piu video possibili :)
Mi fa piacere :) presto arrivano nuovi video
Happy to see your vlog again Gabi .Takecare and GOD BLESS you always prayers from Dubai
Good video for the amount of time, and it's good to see them getting back to a normal life, when we been hearing how their economy is suffering'', so Thanks, and I subscribed the other day because I like your style of making videos'😉
Thank you 😊
Mr. Gabi:Welcome to Beijing, China this week in August of 2024 to shows these amazing places in Asia 2024❤❤❤Welcome to China in great joy & peace 2024❤❤❤
Its cool to have a fresh video out. Right now me and my gf reached delhi and gonna visit joga motors for some travelings 💘!!
Great to hear that! Enjoy India and say hi to Joga motors :)
What is the Chengdu police doing? other visitors all video taped at the square... had no problem...
It s a very rare case for a police to ask tourists not to videotape, I have never seen this happen
